Makary will make his way to Atlanta on July 28 to serve as a plenary speaker at AACC’s 2015 Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, and he will share his perspective on improving the safety culture in healthcare, obtaining consistently improved outcomes for various conditions, and lowering overall costs. A pioneer in research involving the use of surgical checklists, Dr. Makary also will discuss how certain tools can help reduce the risk of errors in medicine, including surveying healthcare workers about the quality of care in their institutions, following checklists similar to those used in the airline industry, and public reporting of health delivery quality indicators by both hospitals and physicians.
